boiling water slowly through, and dry
it. Let the care be daily afterwards.
The grease will not form, nor will the
gauze fill up, il a pint or so of boiling
water is poured Through every morn

coffcc-pot is put away exactly as it

In drying the colfee-pot, or warming

or there will be the flavor of burnt
coffee to spoil the beverage for that
occasion. = Catherine 0UeN in Good

Tee I4Ilne-KiIn Club.

The wisdom of the club in deciding
not to permit any lecturer to enter the
hall until he had passed an examina-
ton before n committee was apparent
when Hon. Plumbago Josyln, OF
Huntsville, Ala, walked into Detroit
to deliver his lecture on "Can We Ever
Be Perfectly Happy" The committee
submitted him to the following exami-
nation:
when and where was Plato born?'
what brought the downfall of the
Roman Empirc?'
what nation first made use of the
soup bone as substitute for turkeyP"
"Who introduced the game Of policy
into this country?'
"Who was De Soto, and why did he
discover the Mississippi river?'
"If have l,0O0,0O0, 900 cocoanuts
and give strange darky 265, APO of
them how many do have left?'
How long would body Weighing
250 pounds take in falling 300 feet?'
The list Of questions embraced thirty
one, and Hon. Plumbago could not re-
turn correct answer to a single one
of them. He grew quite indignant
over the examination, claiming that
the only two things which stood in the
way ofperfect happiness on earth were
green watermelons at 80 cents apiece
and the house fly; but the committee
was firm, and he was told to jog along.
DE report OF de committee will be
accepted an adopted" observed
brother Gardner. ian each member Of
it will consider hisself formally
thanked. Had de Hon Plumbago been
allowed to take lis platform we should
hey lost half an hour of our valuable
time an been 10 wiser. We will now

Value of Common Fish.

The common varieties of fish in
clude the yellow perch, rock bass,
bull-head, sucker, pickerel, and the
like. These fish. though they do not
command the attention of writer's and
black bass, white fish, and shad have,
still hold very important place in the
tish-supply of the country, and furnish
pleasure and food for many thousands
of people. The class of fish above
referred to do not require the care and
attention to make them plentiful that
is necessary with the finer or game
varieties. Artificial propagation is not
required, and about the only thing
really needed to keep plentiful sup
ply in the waters to which they are
adapted, is to protect them while they
are in their spawning beds, and fish
for them only by angling by hand with
hook and line. In this way you get
the greatest amount of actual enjoy
ment in the capture of the fish, and
who is there that does not relish u
mess of fish caught by himself, better
than those purchased, or procured in
any other way? Another point con-
corning these common fish, is that rs
rule they are easily caught, and it
requires no especially fine tackle 20
take them, though the most successful
fishermen are careful in the arrange
ment of their hooks and lines, and
also keep their hook properly sharp
ened, and well-baited. A common
cane pole. such as can be purchased
for a small amount, will be found
equally as serviceable as high-priced,
split bamboo, iointed rod. These fish
also inhabit large rivers. lakes and
bays, which are accessible to the mil
lions. They are also found in the
canals, to which thousands resort in
summer for the capture of a mess of
fish. In such waters as these, the finer
grades of fish cannot live and thrive.

Never sleep so that on first awaken
ing the eyes shall open on the light of

Never begin TO read, write or sew
for several minutes after coming from

Do not use the eyesight by light SO
scant that it requires an effort to dis
criminate, whether twilight, moon
light, or on cloudy days.
Finally, the moment you are in
stinctiyely prompted to rub your eyes,
that moment stop using them.

As is well known, the Israelites are
very particular as to the use OF butch
er's meat, which, in order to be 'kosh-
err. e., to comply with the ritual re-
quircments-ought only 10 be taken
from animals that are killed not only
in the presence of, but by, person Of
the faith, specially appointed for the
purpose. Complaints in this respect
have been OF frequent occurrence,
many butchers or dealers OF game and
fowl Offering their Jewish clients ''un-
clean" meat. At a recent trial Of this
kind in Berlin the rabbi of the princi-
pal synagogue was called upon the
stand and testified as follows: The
Mosaic law requires that the jew
butcher be 4 person of good reputation
and morals, and after undergoing an
examination by the rabbi, should only
exercise his particular function on tho
strength of a certificate. One of the
tests Of his fitness for the place CON
sists in promptly resharpening "a knife,
which the rabbi has purposely bluuted.
During the act 81 butchcriug he has to
